The people of this county have
expressed no desire for change in
the road law of this county. Our
Representatives have suggested
law to take the place of the present
contract system. If it is proposed to
do away with the special law for this
county, and thereby bring the county
under the present general road law,
which provides for the appointing of
a load Supervisor at the April session
of the Board each year, it would be
well to circulate a petition and give
the people of the county an oppor-
tunlty to express their preference.
The general law provides that a road
tax of 81 per $1,000 Of assessable
property shall be collected by the
supervisor and applied to repairing
the roads in the several districts.
Tic 'dA leVled In each district to be
applied to the roads in that district.
Instead of benefit to a favored few,
as in the contract system, this law
would be for the benefit of favored
one-the Supervisor; but it would
perhaps be better for the taxpayers,
as the combined profits lover and
above the costs of keeping the roads
in repair of the several contractors.
would, no doubt, be greater than the
salary OF the Supervisor, and to a
casual observer it would look as it.
under the Supervisor law, the roads
could be kept in repair for less money
than under our present special law
the contract system.

Hon. J. Cave gives his views, as
follows, in regard to a road law for
Boise county: "Mr. Robb and my
self have thoroughly discussed the
matter as to the contract system of
road work. We concur in the opin-
ion that the General Road Law will
be much better for the people gen
orally. As to myself | hold to the
view that the contract system is the
most veritable humbug that ever was
put upon any set of people. About
all 1t amounts to Is the people of
Boise county pay their road tax for
the benefit of the favored few who
are so fortunate as to get contracts
for keeping the road in repair. They
do but very little except draw their
money. The District Court held in
Boise county has decided that the
contractor is not compelled or re-
quired to contend or work against
the elements, or in other words, as l
have before stated, they are not re-
quired to do anything, only draw
their money, and for one am not in
favor Of paying taxes for the benefit
of any individual. | am yet at loss
to know how to proceed in the matter.
do not consider that an expression
from the Board of County Commits
aioners should have any more weight
in this matter than any other equal
number of citizens of the county, as
they are not supposed to voice the
sentiment of the people on any matter
concerning them all. l hope to get a
more full expression of the people on
this subject, as l wish to do the great
est good to the greatest number in
all matters.

The bill introduced in the Legisla-
ture, supplementary to the election
law, is just as good as it can be made,
and provides punishment not bit
too severe for "inhuencers" of "free
electors Sin other words bulldozers
and boycotters. When bulldozing
and boycotting become the chief
factors in campaigns to carry a can
didate through to the goal Of his am
bition, and when corruption becomes
the stepping stone to political ''hon-
ors" or promotion, it is time to cry
out for the enactment of such a law
Such methods as this bill Is designed
to do away with, exist--and SO enor-
mously, plainly and Enthusiastically
and blind if he cannot take in the
situation of affairs during political
campaign. Let the bill become law.
The special school law of this coun-
ty is Just as favorable to the small
.stricts as a school law can be and
do justice to this district, which is the
largest. This district pays III good
deal more than it draws out, and the
other districts draw more than they
pay in. The present law is more ia
vorable to the small districts than any
ever enacted for BOISE county that
we remember of. We were not
aware, until last night, of the nature
of the new school bill, and too
late for further comment The World
will give space to discussion OF the

At the time of the arrest of Judge Terry by the Vigilance Committee of San Francisco in 1856, for shooting Marshall Hopkins, Colonel Olney, the commander of the military forces of the Vigilants,. was at his boarding house, several blocks distant from the scene. One of his men appeared be- fore him almost breathless, informing him of what had taken place. Ir the discharge of his duty a few previous, he had sprained his ankle 80 that he could SCI rcely stand upon his feet. But the though that his absence might mar that days doings was not pleasant to entertain, There was not a moment to lose. To get horse in that neigh borhood was impossible, and he could not walk. What was to be donei
 While thus,specuiating, every second fseeming an hour, his eyes fell on. the wagon of kerosene dealer who had driven up, and stepped to the sidewalk just as the alarm sounded. In a mo. ment Olney was in the drivers seal, and with reins and. whip in hand was Flashing the horse like & fury, toward the Committee rooms. The driver had barely time to scramble up besides him as the horse sprang forward, scattering the affnghted people to either side. One glance into the sternly set fea- lures of Olney's face satisfied the driver that approximation would be in vain. Away they rattled down the street the Colonel whipped and the kerosene flew. The empty can. danced out oi the vehicle and the full ones overturned and scattered their contents upon the co5bleseenes. Presently the dealer mustered courage and said:
 "You arg spiiling my kerosene. "Dam your kerosene," was the reply Then, remembering, that this poor ped Ter should not be. made to suffer fol the daring deeds of chivalry, the Col
 
 onel added, q will pay for your kero sene."
 Arriving at headquarters the Col onel called for his horse, a magnificent white steed, and was lifted to its back and within few minutes he was in ac tive cammand of the vigilance army

"There has been a good deal said lately about the Southern Pacifc's in. tention regarding San Diego" said a gentleman quite closely identified with that great corporation, to Sun re- porter today "YOu may be assured of one thing, however, that road is coming to San Diego and it will here and will be running trains in and out of the city inside of a year. I will show you the route, too if you would like to see it." he continued as he placed his finger on maI. "Here is the place where they will leave the main line,, at Frink's Springs. You see it is a little more than half way between Colton and Yuma. They will run toward the San Jacinto Mountains passing near Warmers and through the Santa Ysabel ranch to San Diego. This portion of the line is likely to be built first, though they may begin construction from Santa Ana south ward at the same time. After leaving San Diego the line will rnn north near the coast to Santa Ana. The exact location has not been decided on as yet"
 There seems to be general belief that the Santa Ysabsl ranch has changed hands within few days, and the majority of reports points to the Southern Pacific people as the pur- 'chasers. Among other assertions made by Dame Rumor was one to the effect that the ranch had been bought by the San Diego & Coronado Water Com pany. This report was emphatically denied by E. s. Babcock, Jr., Presi. dent of the company, who said they had not bought the ranch and had no idea of buying it.
 "Has the Plume Company bought the Santa YssbeI ranchf" asked Sun reporter of Crittenden Robinson, Su- qerintendent of that corporation.
 "No, we have not" was the re, ply. "We made 8 cash offer for it, but it was refused, and we afterward heard that it had been purchased by some one, either Los Angeles syndi- cate or the Southern Pacific. I am sure VIC have very little interest in the matter anyway We have begun suits for condemnation of some territory for water rights on it and it is immateria to the Plume Company who the pur .chasers are."-S.
